TV-MASynopsis
Babylon Berlin (2017), Season 1 watch online on iFILM — an eight-episode crime drama that opens one of the most expensive shows Europe has ever made. The setting: Berlin, 1929, all jazz-age shimmer with rot underneath.
Inspector Gereon Rath arrives from Cologne on what looks like a vice case, but he carries a private wound and a morphine habit he can barely hide. His path keeps crossing that of Charlotte Ritter, who clerks at police headquarters by day and works a cabaret floor by night just to keep her family fed. A hijacked Soviet freight train ties them together, and what seems like routine smuggling slowly turns into a political conspiracy. A May Day march collapses into violence, a body surfaces in a canal, and a secret autopsy hands them the clue somebody killed to bury.
Tom Tykwer and his co-directors adapt Volker Kutscher's novels with obsessive period detail — the costumes, the songs, the choreography of crowd scenes. A strong entry point for anyone who loves historical noir. Stream Babylon Berlin Season 1 online on iFILM.
